    If JVG can correctly predict a Rockets play...then it is too damn predictable!

    Harden inbounds ball, hands right back to him, iso and then shoot---> come on! is this the best we can do???

    You can't just blame Hardin... Lots of blame to go around...

    The down fall started when Mchale did 2 things..

    1) Went to small ball..
    2) Took PB out to put in a cold Lin.

    After that, there was no offense, no rotation, no team play...

    wow Mchale is a bad coach

    Had Harden with the inbound pass and tried to have Lin give a pick on DWIGHT HOWARD to free smith

    Nobody open use last time out

    That's your coach gentlemen

    Blaming McHale is kind of pointless when your starting back court shoots so terribly in the 2nd half.

    The refs only rigged the game in the early 4th quarters. The rest of this mess is on the coach's r****ded lineup and rotation, as well as some big time choke by Lin and Harden, especially Harden.

    I hope we get a new coach next year.

    McHale sat Lin for 12min and he came back in ice cold. Too many ISO's. What a disappointment. From 6th seed to 8th seed in one game. Jeezus Khrist.

    Will Mchale for once take the blame for terrible coaching in this particular game?

    The problem is that during the first 3 quarters, the Rockets can play fairly free-wheeling and launch three pointers because you can always make it up on the next possession or try and run for the fast break. The Rockets have gotten too used to that.

    Once you get into crunch time, every single possession counts, so nobody dares to shoot the threes early in the shot clock, or take the first open shot. And we end up with tons of ISO with very predictable results.

    Has Jodie Meeks driven past anybody for a dunk all season?

    We lost in every facet of the game. Coaches got out coached, players got outplayed.

    Defense was fine. Asik and Smith played great. Harden destroyed the offense.

    What happen to offsetting Harden and Lin minutes for a bit? He should have played Lin/Beverly when Harden was resting... Gawd the coaches suck...

    Another failed ISO experiment! You can't ISO and beat OKC....if it's going to be like this game over before started.
